    I would advocate the benefits of exercise in helping you establish a place of progress, focus and stress relief. Its less passive than calorie counting alone.

    I actually work in the mental health field. Mental illness is so very common, especially the ones listed here! Talking to someone and reaching out for support are so important. Keep up the good work everyone!

    anxiety-it's interesting, this couldn't have come at a better time. I want to eat right and exercise everyday. But when my anxiety creeps back, like today, I get derailed for few weeks. Then I have to start again. ugh! friend request sent.

    I've had chronic depression and anxiety for most of my life and was diagnosed with PTSD as well several months ago. I would love to have some friends on here who deal with the same or similar issues. Please feel free to add me, anyone who reads this!

    had depression and anxiety for over 11 years now, though it's gone up and down in its intensity. additionally, i have some body dysmorphia issues, as well as binge eating and had a period where i was bulimic, which i still struggle with occasionally. it's awful, isn't it >.<

    I have depression and atypical anorexia with bulimic tendencies. I almost killed myself this year, but instead talked to the people on the suicide prevention thing, so, I guess that's why I'm still here.

    I have Bipolar, ptsd, social anxiety and struggled with bulimia and self injury for years. I'm finding that trying to eat right and exercise is helping a bit with keping me stable. It is true we can do this!
